Help: parties

Newbie Guide, Parties
Parties are a way for players to get together and go make some
experience, complete quests or bring down epic monsters for their
equipment. Partying is probably the most important and fun aspect of the
game.
A party consists of up to eight members, plus an aide. The leader of the
party, usually a fighter type, is called a 'tank'. Tank sits in front of
the group, taking in all the hits, while the rest of the party stays
back and deals damage, tries to keep the tank alive or performs other
duties.
You can create a party yourself and recruit other members to join you.
At the beginning, it is probably best to do this on the newbie channel.
Or, you can indicate your are looking for group (LFG) by sending a
message on the newbie channel. There is also a command 'lfg' which will
indicate your readiness to join a group, see 'lfg'.
To see a complete list of party related commands, see 'party'.
ZombieMUD's players have written several Guides to Leadership, which you
can at http://zombiemud.org
